071118 Golf Coach Press Conference

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas – A strong recruitment strategy and a plan to push the Islanders Women’s Golf Team to achieve new heights are just a few of the reasons Willis Wilson, interim director of Athletics at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi hired Joni Stephens as the new Islanders head golf coach.

“We are excited about pushing Islander Athletics toward the goal of becoming a mid-major athletic program and a big part of accomplishing that has to do with coaching,” shared Wilson during a July 11 press conference announcing Stephens. “Joni is one of those coaches that just ‘gets it,’ she understands who we are as an institution, and I know she will be able to lead us to where we want to go with our golf program.”
